3.2.20.  Value Data Types

   Parameter Name:  VALUE

   Purpose:  To explicitly specify the value type format for a property
      value.

   Format Definition:  This property parameter is defined by the
      following notation:

       valuetypeparam = "VALUE" "=" valuetype

       valuetype  = ("BINARY"
                  / "BOOLEAN"
                  / "CAL-ADDRESS"
                  / "DATE"
                  / "DATE-TIME"
                  / "DURATION"
                  / "FLOAT"
                  / "INTEGER"
                  / "PERIOD"
                  / "RECUR"
                  / "TEXT"
                  / "TIME"
                  / "URI"
                  / "UTC-OFFSET"
                  / x-name
                  ; Some experimental iCalendar value type.
                  / iana-token)
                  ; Some other IANA-registered iCalendar value type.

   Description:  This parameter specifies the value type and format of
      the property value.  The property values MUST be of a single value
      type.  For example, a "RDATE" property cannot have a combination
      of DATE-TIME and TIME value types.

      If the property's value is the default value type, then this
      parameter need not be specified.  However, if the property's
      default value type is overridden by some other allowable value
      type, then this parameter MUST be specified.

      Applications MUST preserve the value data for x-name and iana-
      token values that they don't recognize without attempting to
      interpret or parse the value data.
